NY, Los Angeles archbishops place baseball wager to benefit students
The Archbishops of New York and Los Angeles are placing wagers on their home teams in the upcoming World Series to benefit students within their dioceses.
The campaign website, called Baseball Unites, explains that Cardinal Timothy Dolan of the Archdiocese of New York made a friendly wager with Archbishop Jose Gomez, as their respective home teams will be competing in the World Series for the first time in 43 years.
The wager, where Cardinal Dolan promised New York bagels to Archbishop Gomez, and Archbishop Gomez promised Randy’s Donuts to the Cardinal, will also benefit local Catholic schools.
